Just a quickie post

My grandparents are finally discussing moving into a Senior Apartment - so the "we have to get rid of stuff!" movement has begun!

I have been telling my grandmother for years thatthe only "thing" that I want is the quilt that er mother (my paternal great grandmother on my fathers mothers side) made. (I thought I was goingt o have to wait for the reading of the will & I know how she has been "storing" it...)

I got it yesterday! No photos yet, it is in a box along with some crocheted items that my paternal great grandmother on my fathers fathers side made.

The short version - I got some handmade items that two of my great grandmothers made.

I also got some woodworking items that my grand father made & a framed embroidery piece that my mother made in the early 1970's.

I hope to get some antique kitchen items when my grandmother actually moves - like an old glass rolling pin.

Last fall, my grandma, at the tender age of 92 moved from the farm to a senior apartment. I went with my dad to the auction. I came home with a lot more than I had planned. One cool thing was her mother's treadle machine and her father's violin.
